Wild Survivors Summer Camp
$250 for Members
Limited to 15 campers per age group
Challenge yourself in the great outdoors! Learn survival skills through hands-on experiences while building new friendships. Discover how humans, plants, and animals survive in the wild. Put some of your skills to the test during an offsite adventure to a local stream.
This week-long, daily summer camp is designed for youth entering grades 1-3 and 4-6. Campers must be able to hike up to 2 miles over uneven and rocky terrain.
Our Summer Nature Camps get kids outdoors, developing a deeper connection with the natural world through fun and educational activities. We provide a professional environmental education specialist for each camp and limit group size based on optimal teacher-student ratios. Meeting live animals, hiking woodland trails, role-playing, making art and craft projects, learning from scientists and special presenters, exploring natural areas, telling and listening to stories, and conducting experiments fill the campers’ days. Off-site trips may be included to study water creatures or explore regional highlights.
ALL FEES AND RELEASE FORMS ARE DUE NO LATER THAN 2 WEEKS (14 DAYS) BEFORE THE FIRST DAY OF CAMP.
Due to limited parking space camp start times are staggered by age groups; more information will be sent upon registration. Accessible parking is available directly in front of the Education Building. For questions, please email [email protected].
